I'm trying to trace the family of my grandfather's uncle, James McKenna (born c. 1859 in either Co. Monaghan or Belfast). James married Elizabeth McAlindon in Greenock around 1889/90. They moved to Liverpool shortly after (or perhaps before, returning to Greenock to get married). In the 1901 census they are recorded with six children at Elias Street, Everton: Nellie (1890), James (1892), Henry (1893), William (1895), Thomas (1898) & John (1901). Thereafter we can't find any definitive records for them.

Hi,
This family are on Ancestry 1911 census but unfortunately because of restrictions we are unable to post it on the board ::)
-
In case you haven't got them you can find baptisms for some of the children on Liverpool Roman Catholic Baptisms website.

looking at Liverpoolhistoryprojects / baptisms - they moved to Elias Street around 1893 and the baptisms after that are at St Anthony - here is a map for Elias Street and the church of St Anthony is at the bottom of the next street - this area is / was known as Scottie Road ( Scotland Road ) ...it has it`s own website

Scottie Press - it wouldn`t do any harm to contact them and see if they have any archives of the McKenna family

as the marriage is in Everton , I thought it might be Nellie - who was baptised Ellen McKenna St Peter ,Liverpool 1890

1921 Henry McKenna to Emma O`Neill - West Derby Reg office / registrar attended
Looking at a later census record Henry's name is crossed out.He must be the child that died.
Freebmd show a West Derby 1903 death record for a Henry aged 10

Many thanks for all the info folks - it has filled in a few gaps, given me a few leads and also a few online resources that I wasn't aware of. Much appreciated!
I've managed to find five of William McKenna's children (my Dad's second cousins) through the Thain surname https://familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=20&query=%2Bsurname%3AMcKenna~%20%2Bbirth_place%3ALiverpool~%20%2Bbirth_year%3A1919-1950~%20%2Bfather_surname%3AMcKenna~%20%2Bmother_surname%3AThain~%20%2Brecord_country%3AEngland
